mccain seems to be trying to figure a way to get out of this. this thing with rubio last night was just a first-class mess on their part. karl and the tea party are fighting with each other. you know, it's going to take them a little while to figure out where they're going. but right now they're just all confused and don't quite know what way to go. and all they can do is say just the same thing. if you look at rubio, it's the same speech you've heard for the last 30 years. it's nothing there. >> americans get -- i think are upset about this. that's not the term i'd like to use on tv. i'd be a little more brash aboutangry. across the country. number one, they're going on vacation for a couple weeks when we've got this thing looming on march 1st, the sequester. what evidence do we have out there that shows the 113th is going to be any different from the 112th, that they're not going to be a record number of filibusters when they're doing this to chuck hagel today? i mean, i think this is the tea leaves, isn't it? >> actually, we don't have any ev

pressure from john mccain and others to do more to help the rebels. what kind of political transition is possible without russia buying in? he has been in office now a week. he has tried to talk to the foreign minister since the north korean test, and so far has not had that call returned. that would indicate that russia is somehow avoiding a closer relationship with the new secretary. >> i think russia wra certainly needs to be engaged. i don't think we know exactly where that conversation is at the moment, but i think, you know what, secretary kerry is doing is showing the leadership that's needed from the united states to try to push political transition. that is ultimately what is going to change the course in syria and coming forward with a plan, building some consensus around that, both within syria and in the international community, i think that's right the right first step in the middle east. >> great to see you. thank you for joining us today. >> coming up next, secretary term challenges. we'll talk to michael. stay with us. ition to taste g

the number one is john mccain who was tortured over a long period of time and has been a huge critic of this country conducting torture. what is going to happen to american officials, military and intelligence officials, foreign officials, service officials who lined up in the hands of others who know that the united states has been tortured? what did it have to do with ander on the cia in the middle east? that's never been explored the we've always looked at benghazi as the problem of the consulate that was a loosely destructive consulate and i thought it was an intelligence platform. there is a lot of anger and a rendition, torture, abuse, secret prisons, and then we expect that under the rug and obama would address some of this and he hasn't. you know, guantanamo remains open but has written in "the new york times" people in guantanamo are probably better off than if they are brought to the united states to serve and presence in the country given what's happened to guantanamo because the human rights watch and the red cross keeping an eye on things. there's tremendous anger throug

for example, as has been mentioned previously by senator mccain, i was very troubled that he did not know clearly what our position was when it came to containment. particularly since, i believe everyone in this room voted -- except for the newer members, we recently voted in a vote of 90-1 in the u.s. senate explicitly rejecting a policy of containment toward a nuclear-armed iran. senator hagel seemed to believe that his for statement was that the president had a strong position of containment toward iran and then switched his position to say that we don't have a position on containment and then finally, of course, the chairman corrected and to let him know what our position was. this is one example, i think one of many within the hearing where there were some issues that i felt that he needed to give us answers on. this one, i thought this is one of the biggest threats facing the world right now. i was deeply troubled by his statements with regard to containment and also, i think if you look at his prior history of when he served in this body where he has been on sanctions as has a

in 2008 john mccain swept every county. in 2004 george bush swept every county. oklahoma is the reddest place we've got in america. and republicans, you may have heard, like to think that they do not think much of the policy ideas of barack obama. which is why it was so interesting to hear the two states that president obama mentioned as models when he announced his state of the union plan for preschool. >> tonight i propose working with states to make high-quality preschool available to every single child in america. [ applause ] in states that make it a priority to educate our youngest children, like georgia or oklahoma, studies show students grow up more likely to read and do math at grade level, graduate high school, hold a job, form more stable families of their own. >> president obama took that proposal on the road, visiting a prek class, pre-kindergarten class in decatur, georgia. he played a game of i spy with the kids there and noticed the magnifying class glancy drew style. he had phonics. he did the kinds of things you do in pre-k if you have pre-k whe

john mccain, row wicker, lindsey graham. they all did it. senator graham says he does not want his filibuster today to be thought of as a filibuster even though that's what it is. he says he prefers to think of what he did is blocking the nomination because he wants to use it as leverage to get more information out of the administration on the president's birth certificate, i'm sorry i mean aliens in area 51. i'm sorry. i mean his thoughts about what happened in benghazi. what does hagel know about benghazi? nothing. he had nothing to do with it. but lindsey graham is filibustering his nomination over it anyway. since chuck hagel had nothing to do with it substantively, why block his nomination instead of, say, the john kerry nomination which sailed through the senate? don't know. why not? wrecking stuff is fun, maybe? hulk smash. the guy who the republicans waited to spring this on for the first time in our nation's history to break all precedent is a former republican senator from a red state, a decorated and wounded combat veteran nominat
